Nine people are dead and 42 injured after Russian kamikaze drones slammed into the city of Marhanets in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast early on 23 April, local officials said.
In the early hours of 23 April, the city of Marhanets in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast came under a fierce barrage of Russian-launched “kamikaze” drones, leaving a tragic trail of destruction. According to Serhii Lysak, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, the remotely piloted munitions struck residential sectors, tearing through homes and critical civilian infrastructure. Initial casualty reports, released shortly after the strikes, indicated that seven people had lost their lives and another six had sustained injuries. However, emergency crews soon discovered the situation was even more dire.
By 08:30 local time, Governor Lysak delivered a grim update: the confirmed death toll had climbed to nine, comprising seven women and two men. The tally of those wounded also surged dramatically, reaching at least 42 individuals as rescue teams continued to sift through the wreckage. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, which has been coordinating search-and-rescue operations alongside local authorities, warned that the number of casualties could rise further as medics treat severe injuries and as more victims may be found beneath the debris.
In a statement on Telegram, Lysak condemned what he described as another “deliberate strike on civilians,” extending condolences to the bereaved families and pledging that humanitarian assistance and psychological support would be provided. He added that investigators were on scene to document evidence for potential war-crimes proceedings. Meanwhile, residents—many still rattled by the sudden explosions—have fled damaged buildings, fearful of further attacks. The assault on Marhanets underscores the relentless nature of Russia’s drone warfare campaign and highlights the growing toll on Ukraine’s front-line communities, even far from the active battlefields.
